Yes, that's absolutely the reasonable approach. A surname dictionary of the USA would also be somewhat weird. But as for countries with essentially just one European influential ethnicity like Mexico or Cuba such a dictionary could make sense (no idea whether there are Native American-related surnames in those countries).

I only know of ones written about southern Italian surnames by - incidentally - a German linguist named Gerhard Rohlfs:
-Dizionario dei Cognomi e Soprannomi in Calabria, Longo, Ravenna, 1982
-Dizionario storico dei cognomi della Lucania, Longo, Ravenna, 1985
-Dizionario storico dei cognomi nella Sicilia orientale, lessici siciliani 1, Palermo, Centro di Studi filologici e linguistici siciliani, 1984.
I wouldn't call these "important" in the general sense since it's a rather niche topic, but important from a linguistic and cultural preservation perspective.
Also, I'm sure there are other surname dictionaries for other parts of Italy but I'm not aware of them.
